78 RPM replacement Innovative Technology 402-M208-165 78 RPM stylus

The 78 RPM replacement for Innovative Technology 402-M208-165 needle stylus with a highly polished 3.0 mil radius conical diamond for long playing life and for correct tracing of 78 RPM record grooves.

To maintain the playback fidelity of your 78 record you really need to use a stylus designed for 78 RPM records. A very common misconception is that you can use a LP stylus for playing 78 records. This is one quick and sure way to damage the 78 record grooves. Moreover, the LP stylus is much narrower than the 78 record groove hence the tip will slide to the bottom of the groove where debris has collected for many decades. This results in extraordinarily high surface noise.

Let customers speak for us

Their “We will let you know when your item is in stock “ policy does not work. So if you are waiting for notification, I’d advise just checking back with their online store
